sorry to disagree - the contradictions of Montignac

Peas have a GI of roughly 45 and a Glycemic load of about 3.

They are pretty high sources of fiber and protein compared with other veggies.
for 80 gram serving, 7 g of carbs

Sources mendosa site lists and New Glucose Revolution lists.


Traditionally, montiganc phas 1 asks for overall meal values of less than 30 GI - but he ignores the GL in that, cos its a newer thang.

If the rest of the meal you were serving it with was really low GI - then I think you'd be ok, but if you are wanting to be super strict - I'd say pick something with a lower GI.

I thoroughly recommend you looking at Mendosa - there is a comprehensive list (over 700 foods) measured for GI and GL.
